Ammeter
New to solar and learning. I have a 100 watt system for a start and it would be desirable to measure how much electricity it is generating as well as how much I am using. Any low cost options? So...

Hi,
I don't want to rain on your parade but a 100 watt panel is only going to provide for battery maintenance during storage.
Typical 24 hour parasitic watt-hours are 448. That is as much as a 100 watt panel can do in 100 percent perfect solar conditions in June.

No rain needed. This is for a little cargo trailer conversion with 0(zero) parasitic load. A couple of lights and a small fan. Not interested in big system at all.
Thanks to all that have answered my question.
